Solution

The correct option is B Four
A. Out-crossing is the mating between unrelated members of the same breed which have no common ancestors up to 4-6 generations. This breeding method is best for animals having poor milk productivity, growth rate and those having inbreeding depression.
B. Fishery is generally an entity which is engaged in the raising or harvesting of fishes. It includes rearing, catching and selling of fishes as well as molluscs and crustaceans.
C. MOET (Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer)is a programme for herd improvement in animals such as sheep, cattle etc. by increasing their reproduction rate. The female parent is induced for superovulation by injecting with follicle-stimulating hormone or FSH. The multiple eggs produced by ovaries are collected and artificially inseminated. The fertilised eggs are then transferred to surrogate mothers.
D. Beekeeping or harvesting requires a lot of time and efforts and hence, it is labour intensive.
Hence, all the statements given in the question are correct.
So, the correct answer is 'Four'.
